Commonwealth Commercial CEO Mark Claud on Wednesday announced the moves at the company’s annual real estate forum, held at the Westin Richmond at Reynolds Crossing.

They’ll start with Commonwealth Commercial on June 1, working out of the firm’s office in Innsbrook.

That leaves about a half-dozen or so remaining brokers from Harrison & Bates on their own to find a new brokerage to call home after the firm announced this month it would cease operations largely as of May 31.

Six top brokers from Harrison & Bates are joining a rival commercial real estate brokerage.

The six — including David M. Williams, the president and CEO of Harrison & Bates; and Steve Gentil, the firm’s chairman who has been a broker since 1980 — are joining Henrico County-based Commonwealth Commercial Partners.

Five of the six will become senior vice presidents of Commonwealth Commercial and one will be a sales and leasing associate. They will join the company June 1.
